Google kinda let me down with this whole pronoun sticker thing. I was hoping for the tech conference I know and love, you know, WITHOUT having politics injected into it? Can’t we just stick to the topic of the conference and not have to worry about this kind of thing? #io18pic.twitter.com/6X51s0Ki74

According to SFGate, “Pronoun stickers are becoming increasingly common at conferences to foster inclusiveness and reduce instances of misgendering. The American Association of Physics Teachers uses the stickers at its conferences, for example.”

Microsoft Build Live, another technology conference which took place this week, also distributed pronoun stickers.
